Discover the story of the song > Call Me Something Good – Afroman

In these lyrics, the protagonist is telling people not to call him a derogatory term that starts with the letter "n". He wants them to call him something positive instead, like "brother". He explains the history of the word, saying that it originated from Latin and was later mispronounced to become a racist term for black people. He talks about how the word is used to degrade and dehumanize black people, and how it reinforces negative stereotypes. He also discusses how black people were made to hate each other during times of slavery, and how they were taught to use the derogatory term against each other. The protagonist doesn't agree with this and wants to be called something respectful instead.
